Slow down!
If teens and everyone who drives would remain 2-3 mph below the posted speed limits, it would prevent fatal collisions.
To me, the speed limit is the maximum speed!
Prevent distractions.
In addition, seat belts on all passengers and being alert without distractions, such as phones, would definitely prevent fatal collisions!
Full stops at stop signs!
Always keep your eyes alert!
Be courteous!
This is based on my 62 years of driving experience — 53 years in New York City and nine years in Dover.
